Chapter Eighty-Seven: The March

The march went smoothly, after all, we had conducted a detailed survey and study of the terrain in the area and worked out several feasible evacuation plans before we came here...... The reason why I wanted a few was because I was afraid that the temporary situation would change and I would have to change the route. What's more, there is also a reconnaissance company that is more familiar with the terrain.

You must know that the reconnaissance company has been engaged in lurking, camouflage, infiltration and other battles in this area for a long time, and even when we found them, they were still wearing tattered Vietnamese military uniforms, so they really didn't have to worry about getting lost when marching in this area.

But then again, the military uniforms of the Vietnamese army in this era are very similar to the uniforms of our army, plus the mud and dirt, if it were not for the difference in military caps and epaulettes, it would really be indistinguishable.

It is precisely because the reconnaissance company is wearing the "orthodox military uniform of the Vietnamese army" that it is naturally the troops of the reconnaissance company that take the lead.

In this way, even if you encounter Vietnamese troops or checkpoints on the road, it is easy to solve...... On the road, we encountered two teams of the Vietnamese army, one was the regular army sent to reinforce the front line, and there were two platoons of troops. Needless to say, after the reconnaissance company went up, it was silent at first, and even greeted them in Vietnamese, and after the two troops staggered, the Vietnamese troops of these two platoons were naturally sandwiched in the middle by our army, and they were also close, not only close but also prepared for battle. As a result, the more devils were guns, and before they could take them off their backs, we beat them to pieces.

When encountering the checkpoint, it is also solved in this way, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company go up first, and when we go up to find out that something is wrong, it is already too late. In a few clicks, the Vietnamese army level was taken.

The trickier part for us was the other one we encountered.

This one is not about how strong its combat power is. And precisely because it is basically ineffective...... This group was the Vietnamese civilians who were transporting supplies to the front line. A group of old people, women, and teenage children, carrying guns and food on their backs, waved excitedly when they saw the reconnaissance company, and were immediately stunned when they saw us.

Chen Qiaoqiao was about to shoot as soon as he lifted the gun, but I stopped him.

Although I know that from a military point of view, we should shoot, at least so that it will not cause us possible trouble or even danger, you must know that in 79 years, we have not often encountered old people and children shooting black guns in the back.

But when it really comes, we can't do it...... If you really want to do it. So what's the difference between us and the more devils?!

"Tie it up." I ordered, and at the same time confessed: "Any resistance or ill-intentioned action will be killed!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered, and soon several groups of warriors walked up.

The soldiers were all from the past, and they were naturally very careful under my orders, and they worked in pairs of two, one holding a gun in his hand and pointing it at the target's head, and pulling the trigger without hesitation at the slightest movement, while the other stepped forward to seize the weapon, ammunition and tie it up.

As we expected, an old man secretly unscrewed the safety cover of the grenade in the process...... This can only be blamed for their lack of preparation, and if they were prepared, they would not have unscrewed the safety cover but pulled the strings.

Needless to say, what will happen to you. "Bang" a gunshot, it was a burst of brains and fell on the side of the road on the spot...... Although we do not lay hands on the people. But if these so-called "people" are armed and pose a threat to us, then we will not be relentless.

Otherwise, there would be no need to fight this battle, and the more devils let some old and weak women and children with guns go to the battlefield, we will be beaten.

Of course, there is no such thing in this world where the enemy sticks out his neck and makes you slaughter without fighting back.

Our main difficulty is that there are too many wounded and sick, especially after the fire, it can be said that everyone has some minor injuries, more than 40 people can walk but cannot keep up with the speed of movement, and there are more than 10 wounded who need to be carried away...... In fact, in a way, there is not much difference in the speed of the march between the lightly wounded who move slowly and the seriously wounded who need to be carried away, and sometimes it is even faster to carry the seriously wounded than the wounded who can walk, so later the soldiers simply put the lightly wounded on stretchers and carried them on the march.

This will indeed be more convenient, but it will undoubtedly have a great impact on the speed and body of the fighters.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, Wang Chunxiang ran back from the front.

Wang Chunxiang was originally the deputy commander of the reconnaissance company, and he acted as the commander of the reconnaissance company after the company commander was seriously injured by fire while protecting the soldiers in the cave.

He stood up in front of me and said, "The company commander asked me to discuss with you, should you let the reconnaissance company and the agent company go in two ways?" ”

"Split into two ways?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this: "Tell me the reason!" ”

"If we go all the way, we have too many troops!" Wang Chunxiang replied: "There are more than 300 of us, and it is easy to attract the attention of the Yue devils. And it's harder to keep track of the devils when they're separated, and we're moving faster. ”

It should be said that Wang Chunxiang's words still have a certain amount of truth, not to mention the rest, let's just say that we are walking on a small road, and we can only have two or three from side to side, or even less, if there is a wounded person in front of him who needs to rest or be replaced, the stretcher will block the flow of troops for a while.

On the other hand, the reconnaissance company is also familiar with the terrain in this area, so it is indeed feasible to be divided into other roads.

But here's the problem...... This is the hinterland of the Vietnamese army, and if our already weak forces are dispersed like this, it will be easy to be broken by the Yue devils.

So I shook my head and objected, "No, it's easy to have problems if you go separately!" ”

"Battalion commander!" Hearing this, Wang Chunxiang couldn't help but hurriedly say: "If it goes on like this, maybe we won't be able to reach the evacuation point and ......."

"So that's what you're thinking!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but suddenly realize.

In the final analysis, it was the reconnaissance company that affected the speed of our march.

On the one hand, because most of the light and serious wounded were from the reconnaissance company, and on the other hand, because the reconnaissance company had not been able to recover in a short period of time, the reconnaissance company felt that it was a burden. At the same time, they knew that we would definitely not leave the reconnaissance company and march alone, so they called it "separate operations."

"Battalion commander!" Seeing that he accidentally said something wrong, Wang Chunxiang said helplessly: "We don't want to do this either, but you also know, now the shape is very serious, your agents even risked their lives to take us out of the encirclement and brought us so much ammunition, we are already very content and grateful, how can we still drag you down?" Battalion commander, don't worry, our reconnaissance company has been fighting in this area for more than a day or two, as long as you pretend to be a devil, you can hide wherever you want...... It's not easy for the devils to find us! ”

Of course I won't believe Wang Chunxiang's nonsense, if it was in the past, it might still be possible, but the current Yue devils are only afraid that they will have already divided several troops to surround and intercept them, and they can hide if they want to.

I later learned that in fact, the reconnaissance company did not think about hiding at all, and after they planned to "separate operations" with us, they set up a defensive line on our retreat to block the Yue devils who followed behind.

When he heard this, he couldn't help but scold: "Isn't this, our agent company took so much risk and sacrificed so much just to save the reconnaissance company, you guys are good, you plan to sacrifice yourself at every turn!" ”

So, sometimes it's not a good thing to be "brave and sacrificed".

The most scientific thing should be to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit, and the blind spirit of "courage to sacrifice" is commendable, but the result may be a strategic failure.

"No more discussion!" I flatly refused: "Let you even recuperate in Chang'an's heart, and you don't have to think about anything else!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Chunxiang replied helplessly.

In fact, I didn't have any good solutions at this time, and I had thought about this before, but I didn't expect that there would be so many wounded, so that they all reached the point where Yan zhòng affected the march.

But what can be done about it?

Abandon the wounded like a devil? This is not the style of our Chinese soldiers, what we pay attention to is not to give up any of our comrades-in-arms.

Drop the ammunition to lighten the load? This is obviously not a good way, if we do, in case we encounter a team of more devils on the road, we will not even have the ability to fight back.

"Battalion commander!" Just as I was thinking about this question, the two Chen sisters walked in front of me.

"We want to ......," Chen Yiyi stopped talking.

"What do you think?" I asked.

"We want to stay!" Chen Qiaoqiao plucked up the courage to say.

"Why?" I asked.

"Actually, we feel guilty!" Chen Yiyi said: "It was we who put the reconnaissance company in this dangerous ......."

"I know!" I said, "You want revenge." ”

"Yes!" Chen Yiyi nodded: "So we feel that it is necessary to take responsibility for the current situation, and our two sisters are responsible for the back, how long can it be delayed!" ”

I had no doubt about the sisters' abilities, and if they were given enough ammunition, they could do it, but I felt that their ideas were more than that.

"I'm afraid you still want to go back and take revenge!" I smiled and said, "I can sue you, you can't find the commander of the 308th Division when you go back, because he has been captured by us!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be shocked.

"Captured by us? Where is it?! Chen Yiyi asked.

"You're lying to us!" Chen Qiaoqiao's face was full of disbelief.

I can't help but feel funny when I see this, I already know that you two sisters have this idea. In other words, these two sisters are really persistent, and they really look like they are not dead in the heart of the Yellow River, but fortunately, I really captured the regiment leader.
